Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The fake Xia Hongming sneered and said with a sinister tone, “Ridiculous. I suspect that you’re not my mother at all. Otherwise, why don’t you even know your own son? What a joke!”
He never thought that his identity would be exposed because of this ridiculous question.
Xian Fei looked at the fake Xia Hongming and pointed at him angrily. “You probably never thought that there would be a secret question between me and Hongming, right? Every time we see each other, we will ask a similar secret question. The last time I asked you if you wanted to eat chestnut cake, how did you answer?”
The fake Xia Hongming looked at Xian Fei calmly and said coldly, “I said I’m fine with it.”
He remembered that when Xian Fei saw him before she pretended to be crazy, the first question she asked him was if he wanted to eat some chestnut cake. At that time, he thought that it was just an ordinary question.
The problem was that it was actually a secret question.
Xian Fei looked at the fake Xia Hongming coldly and sneered. She turned to the real Xia Hongming and said gently, “Hongming, do you want to eat chestnut cake?”
Xia Hongming glanced at the fake Xia Hongming and replied calmly, “I want to eat red bean cake. I’ll eat chestnut cake another day.”
Only the person who could answer the question correctly was her son.
“The question doesn’t stay the same. When I ask if he wants to eat pastries or what dishes he wants to eat, he will choose what he wants to eat and say that he’ll eat the food I offered him another day.”
Therefore, hearing the fake Xia Hongming’s answer, Xian Fei knew that her son had been swapped.
Xian Fei looked at Liu Sanniang and stood up to bow to her. “Miss Liu, thank you for bringing my son back to me. It’s precisely because of you that we can reunite.”
Xian Fei looked at Xia Qiluo and said coldly, “Seventh Princess, you thought that I died in the fire, but I prepared for that fire to happen a long time ago. I pretended to be crazy because I wanted to reduce my presence. Since I’m still alive, I can testify for Miss Liu!”
Xia Qiluo’s eyes were cold. She stared at Xian Fei and gritted her teeth. She dug her sharp fingers into her palm, but she did not feel any pain.
Xian Fei slowly continued, “Seventh Princess, if you don’t believe me, why don’t you read my mind?”
Blood slowly flowed out of the corner of Xia Qiluo’s mouth. The moment Xian Fei came out, she knew that she had lost again.
She glanced at Liu Sanniang and her eyes were almost covered in blood.
From the beginning to the end, Liu Sanniang’s expression was calm. She seemed to have known that she would win.
Xia Qiluo looked at Liu Sanniang and asked with difficulty, “Why?”
Why did she lose?
Why did she lose to Liu Sanniang again and again?
Had she really done something wrong? Had she always done something wrong?
Something seemed to have exploded in Xia Qiluo’s mind. She stared fixedly at Liu Sanniang and seemed to have seen a trace of pity flashing across Liu Sanniang’s eyes. Xia Qiluo wanted to see more clearly, but her eyes were already blurry. Blood surged in her throat and her heart was in intense pain.
Her heart seemed to have been crushed by a force.
Xia Qiluo could no longer hold on and fell.
Xu Ran quickly caught Xia Qiluo, who had fallen. He handed Xia Qiluo to Xu Qing and said coldly, “The emperor of the Xia Dynasty was bewitched by a demon. From today onwards, a war will definitely break out between the three countries.”
Xia Bingguang was so angry that he trembled. He stood up angrily. “Guard, arrest all these evil people.”
Xu Ran met Xia Bingguang’s gaze as if he was looking at an inconspicuous ant. He said calmly, “From today onwards, disciples of the Cloud Breaking Sect will return to the sect. When someone else wise sits on the throne of the Xia Dynasty, we’ll consider coming back.”
Xu Ran formed a seal with his hands, and the disciples of the Cloud Breaking Sect followed behind him.
The imperial guards did not even have a chance to fight them. It was as if they were blocked by an invisible force. This force pushed away those who were in the way.
With Xu Ran in the lead, Xu Qing, Xu Bo, and Xu Yue followed behind. They left one after another. Their bodies were enveloped by a warm glow. They left the hall and disappeared.
Seeing that the Cloud Breaking Sect disciples had all walked out of the hall, the officials slowly came back to their senses and said nervously to Xia Bingguang, “Your Majesty, we can’t let the two State Ministers leave. The Cloud Breaking Sect is a thousand-year-old sect.”
Xia Bingguang’s expression was cold. At this moment, the difference between mortals and psychics was like the difference between heaven and earth. Even if his imperial guards were invincible, they were useless against psychics.
The departure of the Cloud Breaking Sect was an abandonment of the Xia Dynasty.
The officials panicked and were frightened by Xu Ran’s prediction.
Hearing that more and more people were complaining, Xia Bingguang roared, “Enough. There are as many brave generals in the Xia Dynasty as there are clouds. For generations, all of us are good at fighting. If anyone dares to invade, we’ll skin them alive and beat them back.”
When Xia Bingguang showed his might, the officials all shut up, not daring to mention the Cloud Breaking Sect again.
A general stepped forward and said, “If a war breaks out, I’m willing to lead the troops.”
More generals stepped forward and agreed. “I’m willing too.”
Xia Bingguang was relieved. The stability of a dynasty shouldn’t entirely depend on the psychics..
